problem #1

Oct 192006

Accent 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles
An accident occured (collision) with my 2004 hyundia Accent. Immediately a fire started under the hood. The fire burned through the firewall into the front seat of the car. The gas line shut off should have prevented this and the fire wall should have stopped it. Luckily no one was killed.
